Was scrolling through AO3 and found this gem
Enemy to parent is a trope we have to popularise lmao

Technically true.
i think the near-extinction of people making fun, deep and/or unique interactive text-based browser games, projects and stories is catastrophic to the internet. i'm talking pre-itch.io era, nothing against it.
there are a lot of fun ones listed here and here but for the most part, they were made years ago and are now a dying breed. i get why. there's no money in it. factoring in the cost of web hosting and servers, it probably costs money. it's just sad that it's a dying art form.
anyway, here's some of my favorite browser-based interactive projects and games, if you're into that kind of thing. 90% of them are on the lists that i linked above.
A Better World - create an alternate history timeline
Alter Ego - abandonware birth-to-death life simulator game
Seedship - text-based game about colonizing a new planet
Sandboxels or ThisIsSand - free-falling sand physics games
Little Alchemy 2 - combine various elements to make new ones
Infinite Craft - kind of the same as Little Alchemy
ZenGM - simulate sports
Tamajoji - browser-based tamagotchi
IFDB - interactive fiction database (text adventure games)
Written Realms - more text adventure games with a user interface
The Cafe & Diner - mystery game
The New Campaign Trail - US presidential campaign game
Money Simulator - simulate financial decisions
Genesis - text-based adventure/fantasy game
Level 13 - text-based science fiction adventure game
Miniconomy - player driven economy game
Checkbox Olympics - games involving clicking checkboxes
BrantSteele.net - game show and Hunger Games simulators
Murder Games - fight to the death simulator by Orteil
Cookie Clicker - different but felt weird not including it. by Orteil.
if you're ever thinking about making a niche project that only a select number of individuals will be nerdy enough to enjoy, keep in mind i've been playing some of these games off and on for 20~ years (Alter Ego, for example). quite literally a lifetime of replayability.
If ur in the epic discord you've seen this dumb thing already but here it is again

INSOMNIA 4th level Enchantment
Casting Time: 1 Action Range: 30 ft. Components: S, M (a petrified eyeball) Duration: 24 Hours
You curse the dreams of a creature you can see within range. The creature must make a Charisma saving throw. There is no effect on a successful save and no immediate or noticeable effect on a failed one. Upon attempting to take a short or long rest, the target finds that they are unable to gain the benefits of a rest. The creature takes exhaustion points as necessary from lack of rest (XGE p78) as wakefulness becomes a maddening prison.
At higher levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher the duration increases by an additional 24 hours for each spell slot above 4th level.
Suggested Classes: Bard, Warlock, & Wizard
Commission for @thenuinn. Commission information here.
NOTE: This spell can be countered by Greater Restoration, Counterspelled, or removed with an appropriately leveled Dispel Magic. While intimidating, there are numerous ways to deal with the spell. Its primary use in my opinion as an author is to impose horror upon characters, be they NPCs or PCs within a narrative and the roleplay that comes from that.
commission open.
